Aparichita (1978 film)


Aparichita is a 1978 Kannada-language romantic mystery thriller film directed by Kashinath, starring Suresh Heblikar, Sobha, M. V. Vasudeva Rao, Sundar Krishna Urs and Mohan. The music was composed by noted composer L. Vaidyanathan. The movie was critically acclaimed. Kashinath remade the movie in Hindi as Be-Shaque. The movie was also remade in Malayalam as Avano Atho Avalo. The film was dubbed in Telugu as Aparichitulu.
The forest setting of Aparichita inspired Vamsy to create a film entirely set in a forest, which ultimately led to the making of Anveshana.
